It was overcast and super blustery today so I painted in the car this morning. We parked facing the big tug boat at anchor in Bantry Bay. After several other attempts at painting boats as the wind swung them around their buoys I decided to try a bigger boat that wasn't going to move. We spoke to the captain of the tugboat yesterday. It tows oil freighters into harbor at Widdy Island. They only go out 25 or 30 times a year. We had seen the boat at anchor the whole time we were here until yesterday morning. Of course, I had to ask him where he'd gone. We saw the boat coming back to Bantry. When it settled into the dock I walked over and started asking questions. It seems like a really big boat to me. It's not cruise ship size but I bet it could tow one.
Box of Frogs was closed today so we tried another bakery. I had a coffee cake. It wasn't coffeecake it was coffee flavored cake with coffee flavored buttercream frosting. It was pretty darn good. Forgot to take a picture of it.
I painted on L8724 this evening and will post a photo of it later.
It was super windy again. Plein Ca(i)r. I did have the window down:-)
Hi - Jan! It was overcast in Reedsburg today too! I just got caught up on your photos and paintings and all are wonderful. I want to go eat at Box of Frogs. 40 years ago when I was in Ireland the food offerings were not what they are today. The cottage looks great, too. You are doing wonderful work in challenging conditions.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat! Thanks for the comments. We've been packing paintings today. If my scheme works I'll post pictures on the blog. It is a fairly low tech solution. Fingers crossed. Yes, go to Box of Frogs. Great little cafe. Sláinte, Jan
